A Flower Bookmark (Korean: 꽃갈피; RR: Kkotgalpi) is the first cover extended play (eighth overall) by South Korean singer-songwriter and actress IU. It is also her sixth Korean-language mini-album. The EP was released on May 16, 2014, the singer's birthday, by LOEN Entertainment under its imprint LOEN Tree. Unlike her previous works, A Flower Bookmark features cover versions of nostalgic K-pop songs popularized from 1980s to 1990s.[1] The album is her first Korean-language release after seven months since Modern Times (2013).
The EP was successful both commercially and critically. It spawned two hit singles; the lead single "My Old Story" and "The Meaning of You". The former topped Billboard Korea K-Pop Hot 100,[2][A] while the latter was ranked at the top of Gallup Korea's "Song of the Year" in 2014.[3][B] In particular, the latter has gone to sell more than two million digital copies since release, even outselling the album's lead track. The EP also earned IU a MelOn Music Award for Artist of the Year, and a nomination for Album of the Year.[4][5]
Billboard magazine listed the album at number three on its list of "Best K-Pop Albums of 2014".[6]
A limited LP edition, featuring a bonus track "Eoheoya Dunggidunggi", was available for sale.[7] As of September 2024, the album has sold over 50,000 physical copies and five million digital singles in the singer's native country (see Chart performance).
Album information
As mentioned above, A Flower Bookmark consists of cover versions of nostalgic K-pop songs popularized from 1980s to 1990s, including "My Old Story" (Jo Deok-bae, 1985), "Flower" (Kim Kwang-seok, 1991), "Pierrot Smiles at Us" (Kim Wan-sun, 1990), "When Love Passes By" (Lee Moon-se, 1987), "The Meaning of You" (Sanulrim, 1984), "Dreams in Summer Night" (Kim Hyun-sik, 1988), and "Boom Ladi Dadi" (Clon, 1996).[8]
On May 15, a video teaser for A Flower Bookmark was uploaded on LOEN Entertainment's official YouTube channel.[9] The teaser features Kim Wan-sun, the original singer of "Pierrot Smiles at Us" (Korean: 삐에로는 우릴 보고 웃지; RR: Ppieroneun Uril Bogo Utji).[10] The official music video for the title track "My Old Story" (Korean: 나의 옛날 이야기; RR: Naui Yetnal Iyagi), starring actor Choi Woo-shik, was released via YouTube on the same day.[11]
The whole album was released on the following day. After the album's release, "My Old Story" reached a perfect all-kill status.[12]

Footnotes
- ^ The song remained IU's sixth and last number-one hit on the chart, which has been discontinued since its issue date of July 16, 2014.
- ^ IU herself was entitled "Artist of the Year" in the same survey.[3]
- ^ The song had been used as one of the wholesome songs (Korean: 건전가요; RR: Geonjeongayo) in South Korea. In the past, all of the K-pop albums had to include at least one "wholesome song", as an ode to the nation's (and by extension the dictatorship's) greatness. This practice continued until 1987.[14]
